You are bidding on a 1971 Ford Ranchero 500 which came from the factory finished in Ford's best color, Calypso Coral.  It has been repainted once over the original paint in a slightly brighter shade of red which still shines and looks very nice.  In my opinion 1970 and 1971 were the pinnacle years for Ranchero and it's cousin, the Torino.


Here are some specific details:

-Factory H-code V8 car
-Rebuilt 1968 Torino GT 302 4v high compression performance engine featuring mild cam, 4v high-rise intake, Edelbrock carb, and headers; approximately 12K miles on rebuild
-Rebuilt 9" 3.50:1 Traction Lock rear end approximately 12K miles ago
-C4 automatic transmission and floor shifter
-Dual exhaust
-Power steering and power brakes
-Bench seat interior with black upholstery, door panels, and new carpet kit installed
-Chrome trim, stainless steel trim, and glass are all in good driver-quality condition
-New chrome Magnum 500 wheels with excellent Grand Am radial tires
-Power steering and power brakes with front discs
-GT hood
-Dual outside chrome racing mirrors
-Hideaway headlamp grill *(missing headlamp doors and mechanism; car ships with a nice standard grill as well)

The Ranchero runs very strong and drives out well.  While not perfect, it's reliable enough to get in and drive across the country.

The paint is what I'd call a 15-20 footer; looks good, shines well, but demonstrates some cracks, blemishes, and other age issues on close examination.  Still shines like mad in the sun and gets lots of attention!

The body is very straight overall, with only minor evidence of rust beginning to show in the rear wheel well area. 

I've priced the car fairly so someone can enjoy a cool, reliable, and good-looking classic without breaking the bank.  While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind that it is a 42-year-old vehicle, and being sold as-is, without warranty expressed or implied.

Please feel free to call me with any specific questions you may have at 360-936-9257.

Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer, however, I will make myself available to your shipper for pickup and loading.  Payment is to be made within 3 days of auction end by certified major bank cashier's check, bank wire transfer, or cash.  Zero-feedback bidders, please contact me prior to bidding to let me know you're a real buyer with good intentions.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.

Meet Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller, Iowa's latest hatchet-wielding criminal

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, we've found the long-lost cousin of yesterday's Bentley-tattooed criminal from Florida. This is Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller. No, seriously. While his name seems just like the sort of thing we'd expect the Sunshine State to produce, he actually hails from Iowa. Despite coming from the Hawkeye State, Miller was arrested for a decidedly Floridian offense – getting in a bar fight and then returning with a hatchet. The only way this story could be more Florida is if meth, a manatee or bath salts were involved. The fight, which was at the Cheap Seats Sports Bar, started off typically enough, with a verbal argument in the parking lot (please, please let his nemesis be named "Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Smith"). This, naturally, attracted passing police officers. Things were broken up and some friends took Miller to his home, which was apparently just behind the bar. That's when he returned with the hatchet tucked under his shirt. Miller promptly proceeded to take out the implement of destruction in the bar's bathroom and... forget about it entirely. Fortunately, the police hadn't left the area yet. Not surprisingly, Miller was arrested for a parole violation, as well as public intoxication and going armed with intent. Still, cool name, bro.
